Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Egg Mixture
- â…” cup honey graham cracker crumbs
- 2¾ cups powdered sugar
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
Chocolate Coating
- 10-ounce bag dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, creamy peanut butter, and melted salted butter. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a smooth, pliable dough.
- Shape the Eggs: Using your hands, shape the peanut butter mixture into egg-sized ovals. Place the shaped eggs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Refrigerate the eggs for about 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: While the eggs chill, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Coat the Eggs: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peanut butter egg into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the lined baking sheet.
- Chill to Set: Place the chocolate-coated eggs back in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve and Store: Once set, the peanut butter eggs are ready to be enjoyed. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
- For a smoother coating, ensure the peanut butter eggs are chilled before dipping.
- You can use milk chocolate or white chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate for variation.
- Make sure to stir the melted chocolate frequently to prevent burning.
- If the chocolate hardens before you finish dipping, gently reheat it in short intervals.
- To create festive designs, drizzle contrasting chocolate over the dipped eggs once coated.
